5/26 Point Loma Report -- Irons/Kelp/Spectra Question - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

If you're fishing 40 lb and get stuck in the kelp you should be able to rip it loose. On a kayak I pull myself over until I'm straight up and down over the snag and pull hard. You won't break 40 on kelp. Heavy iron is tough to use inn the kelp. Some times you can drop one straight down through gaps in the kelp but casting one around the kelp is not so good. Mike
